I like green photos, from great landscape photography, to plant photography. I love the subject of this image. A nature that takes control again and tries to recover a lost territory. Civilization remains being devoured by an exuberant nature. Ironic.

This still life is directly connected to those baroque paintings where you can find layers and layers of symbolism and meaning. The dark inside and the bright outside, light and shadow, life and death. A lot to read from this image.

Landscape photography at its best! Love the pictorical appearance of this one. This is a perfect example that most of the time "bad weather" means good weather for photographs.

I find this one to be a little bit ironic. The superposition of the two layers gives the image a new dimension. Big vs. small. It makes me feel tiny.

I like the overall "vintage" feeling of this image, but what i most like about this one is that it suggests a lot more than it tells. You can read in this image the story of many lives saved... or not.

I love this Landscape in Colour 1 by Charles Hallsworht. From the grainny texture, to the surreal color gradient, the "lo-fi" appearance... A photograph that looks like a painting.

I like this one, just because I love to photograph stairs. I don't know why, but it's one of my favourite subjects. Maybe because they are really photogenic? In this case I love the texture, the low key, the crop, the absence of humans... all this gives the image a mystery halo very appealing to me.

I like Jess Douglas' illustrations. I like those isolated urban landscapes lost in the plain background inmensity.
If Jess finds beauty in the ugly and mundane, I find beauty in her illustrations.

I love the way Lauren impersonates Che Guevara and by doing so, she adds new meanings to this iconic image. I see a lot of references here, questions about identity, about power and gender, and about Photography itself. |

Hi Alfredo,
ReplyDeletethank you for chosing my picture and thanks for your comment.
The staircase is one of my favourite subjects maybe because it stays still and I am very slow ;)
In every staircase composition I try to give the upward direction. Thank you for invite Shed photographers to the Flashart fair, but I don't have enough budget...
My best regards
Keep in touch
